If we vote for Brexit what happens
Comments

A bit of a wobble?
Yep.
With Toyota now joining the 'questioning the future of our UK operations' party....
From your link:A senior Toyota executive at the Swiss ski resort told the Financial Times that the carmaker’s UK plants also needed to be competitive after Brexit. Takeshi Uchiyamada, Toyota’s chair, said: “We have seen the direction of the prime minister of the UK, [so] we are now going to consider, together with the suppliers, how our company can survive.”“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.
Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

So what Toyota and Nissan maybe implying is that after the great success of leaving the EU they may need to build bigger plants and employ many more people...
Sounds good to me...."I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like his passengers."0 -

How do you get from "how our company can survive" to keeping up with a massive boom?
It's pretty clear that they are worried that they won't be able to remain competitive, not that they are worried they won't be able to keep up with demand.0 -

Jeeez Hamish.
All it takes is for anyone to read what Toyota have said to see that you are making a mountain out of a molehill with this one.
Toyota have said....In an interview with the Financial Times conducted at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Takeshi Uchiyamada, chairman of Toyota, said that his company would have to ramp up its competitiveness in order to weather the effects of Brexit.
and...Didier Leroy, Toyota’s chief competitive officer and executive vice president, told reporters in October that although the Brexit vote would likely threaten the carmaker’s competitiveness in the region, he did not see it as a trigger to shift production away from the country
The horror! They will have to become more competitive. Something you've championed for the last decade.
Why put your own spin on the article to make a point which doesn't even exist? The desperation knows no bounds.
I really have no idea why people lap up your spin.0 -
Seems pretty obvious to me that Toyota and Nissan will simply move their operations to that newly independent EU member called Scotland.0

For the avoidance of doubt Graham, the Chairman of Toyota does not use the word "survive" about their British operation lightly.“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

I am certain you must have been told this endless times, WE HAVE VOTED TO LEAVE THE EU EVEN IF THAT MEANS LEAVING THE SINGLE MARKET.
What is it with people like you, the understanding of democracy is not rocket science so what part of it can you not grasp.
Besides the more the likes of you complain about what is happening the more I think it is a good thing.0 -
Has anyone seen Foxy, iandury or homelessskilledworker lately?
I wonder what they would have made of this brexit thingy.Don't blame me, I voted Remain.0 -

Terrible.
How much of the £60 billion will go to the NHS. Your not suggesting the big red bus was not a lie?
The 60 billion is a disputed figure but if you say it often enough!!There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.0 -

you willingfully misunderstand what democracy is about because you do not seek truth and honesty.
the spending decisions are made by the government of the day and not by campaigning groups.0
